Abstract:
The University Transportation Center for Mobility (UTCM) previously funded several research projects related to mileage-based user fees (MBUFs). As part of these research efforts a website was developed to support the planning for the first-ever Symposium on Mileage-Based User Fees. While the website was initially developed to disseminate information about the symposium, it has since become a resource for ongoing research in the field of MBUFs. Recently completed studies on MBUFs are posted to the website, and major media coverage of the topic is linked as well. This project further developed the website so that it can act as a "one-stop shop" for individuals interested in exploring the topic or professionals looking to keep track of the latest developments in the field. Updates to ongoing MBUF research pilot studies and research are obtained through researchers' well-established contacts with other researchers in the field and are posted on the website. Journal articles, media coverage, and various commentaries on MBUFs are also provided on the website. Furthermore, interested parties may join a mailing list that provides weekly updates on the subject or can participate in a newly installed discussion forum.
